    Learn the cabanas and ST hotels. There is no outside punani allowed at the Intercontinental. The fine (bribe) costs more than the Chica.

    Like Grey said there are plenty of Cabanas in the area, disguised as hotels, Mystic Hotel, which is next door to the Girls House, and another around the corner on Independencia, can't recall the name now. But it is located on Independencia on the corner next door to the Wellington Hotel. Stay away from the Wellington, as I understand it is owned by a gay French dude, and basically caters to that type of clientele, unless that is what you are into, in which case you probably wouldn't be on this particular site.

    On a side note, last week either it was Thursday or Friday night, since I was moving I had rented a car, but I was with my semi regular chica and I couldn't stop to inquire about what they were asking, anyway we passed by that area on Independencia from the Jaguara hotel up to about Ave. Delgado, and the talent was amazing (drop dead gorgeous amazing), I guess because it is slow due to the economy etc., but I gather that many of the girls from the big clubs must be out trying to get something extra when they get off from the clubs if they hadn't scored. It had to be around 2:00 or 2:30 am. But if you do it, remember it is a buyer's market, that is why (the ones that might not normally be out there) are out there now. Pay and negotiate accordingly.

    Is it safe for a very caucasion male to be out wandering this late?

    Also for a first timer is there any cabbies you recommend that speak decent English and will take a monger on a driving tour and point out the important sites? What about from the Airport?

    Thanks again for the help.

    As always use caution, and be aware of your surroundings. I was in a rental so no big deal at all. As far as cabbies plenty of them will take you on a "tour" Meet up with one when you get there, and let him know what you have in mind, and to make himself available, shouldn't be a problem. I know P2 has a few favorite cabbies (you can pm him for the info), I have one myself, but he normally only works days. I have met a few others as well that seemed more than happy to have a steady client. I have sent cabbies all over the city to pick up favoritas and bring them to me, and be on call for when I am done to take them back. Just rap, and let him know just like you let the chicas know, you will be comparing his price to others. Normally except for the Mafioso cabbies on the Conde, they will be more than willing to work with you.

    Re: Around the Jaragua: A Walking Tour of Santo Domingo Clubs Near the Jaragua

    Most cabbies spend an inordinate amount of time waiting, either for their "turn" at the airports and hotels and other key areas, while others wait at specific locations in the city, waiting for a call in their general area.

    As a result, they have a TON of down time.

    They definitely appreciate a steady customer like Yayow and P2, and will be more than happy to reach an agreement on price that's acceptable to both, at far less than what the average one or two time user will pay.
    If you think it's love try not paying in the morning..

    I have heard Riazor on more than one occasion now is it agreed this is a good place? What about what he said about the extra $7 for a guest only sometimes. Does anyone have any guest experience to share about the cost?

    I noticed that 250/330 of your posts are asking the same redundant hotel questions and most answers are found by searching, have you even made your maiden trip yet?

    Cheeno, Greydread and Yayow have all posted quite detailed SDQ hotel intel, try using it!

    When I was there in June I was only in POP and Sosua briefly. I did read Cheeno's report and others but only saw one mention of the extra guest fees at Riazor. The questions may be redundant but as many have posted things change constantly in the DR and so do the hotels so I was just trying to figure out the best places to stay. It seems at least to me more interesting than reading about people bitching about stuff.

    $7 guest fee is CHEAP, and well worth it, because some of the other hotels will hit you with a $24 guest fee, and poss even more. They tried that shit with us at the Barcelo Lina eventhough we tipped the guards at night.

    Any of the big hotels on the Malecon are nice and you can find a deal for most of them via the internet, the only problem with those hotels are they as a rule aren't monger friendly, so if you are coming with a chica, I certainly recommend them, but if you are planning on bringing a few strays in, you need to think twice, because you will pay with frustration and to bribe the staff, and that is not worth it, in my book.

    I'm just now reading this thread as I did not plan on doing as much as I did in the capital due to the short stay...I will be flying into the capital this time and spending more time there. Thanks for the maps and all the info.

    Even though I can allegedly get the hookup from a friend for a $59 room at the Jaragua, I plan on sticking with the Aparta Hotel Roma.

    I went twice around the track today; once when it was light to make it easier to get around and then around 8pm. It was a Monday night if that has any impact.

    The Parada club and Riky's were both closed at 8pm.

    At 6pm there were 3 girls in the Girl House (all 5's). At 8pm there were about 10 chicas at Sky High. 4,5, and 6's and 2 7's. The one I took gave rushed service.

    She originally tried to charge me 3500 until I said it was 2500 next door. I let her buy a drink and her whiskey and my beer cost 450 (no change given from 500). And the taxi driver charged 300 when I said it should be 200 but the house security said 300 so I didn't want to make a scene or walk away with chica in tow.

    I expect several veterans to laugh at me now....go ahead.
